Practice Sessions: F Major Scale: 7BP

I know its been a little long in the tooth so lets get to it. I mentioned last week about this idea of pivoting/linking the positions but before we get to that we should go through a round of position practicing. But what does this mean exactly? Well, in this practice session we are going to go through each of the 7BP for the F major scale.

Each position will be done 10 times each slow until all positions are covered. The objective here is to build some endurance and concentration. You don’t have to play all the way through. Take breaks when needed.

I think I broke my concentration at least 3 times if not more in this 40 minute session.

How long can you go? What do you say? You feel like practicing? Let do it.
